EXPERIENCE THE FUTURE!

Worlds Fair Nano is a whirlwind two-day festival filled with mind-blowing technology, futurist talks, interactive art, live music, food, and more. At Worlds Fair Nano, we believe the future should be fun.

Interactive Tech Exhibits

At Worlds Fair Nano, you get to experience futuristic technology first hand! This is the stuff you’ve probably only read about. There are no display cases. This is an opportunity to look, listen, touch, and play.

VIRTUAL

REALITY

It’s not just for incredibly immersive gaming, although we do love that application. It’s also being applied to the medical field for remote surgeries. There are even companies we know working on a fully virtual world intended to replace our own. Ready Player One fans take note!

FASHION

From 3D printed clothing and jewelry to clothing with embedded sensors and programmable LEDs, we’ve got it all!

GAMING

Still playing N64? Us too, but at least you have more options now. Immerse yourself in the emerging world of VR gaming. Try on haptics. Strap in to motion simulators. It’s about to get intense.

PETS

‘Humans get to have all the fun,’ they said. Not anymore Kitty Kitty! Pet tech is in, and, with all of the new gadgets out there, you can practically turn your furry friend into a cyborg! Okay not quite, but you get the idea.

SMART

HOMES

The home of the future is one that listens, responds, and optimizes. It’s definitely wifi connected, and it may know you better than you know yourself. 2016 was the year of the smart thermostat. 2017 Amazon Alexa hit the scene in a big way. What’s next?!

ROBOTICS

Build-your-own-bot kits that teach programming, telepresence robotics, and artificially intelligent machines are all hitting the scene today thanks to a handful of our friends.

Space has been a dream for decades – probably millenium actually. But today, with the recent privatization of the space industry, we may be closer than ever to getting there. And we don’t just mean landing on another planet. We mean colonizing it.

FARMING

If seeing is believing, then the future is going to be a very confusing place. Augmented reality HMDs, phone apps, and displays are visually integrating the digital into the physical.

CONSUMER

TECH

‘High tech’ isn’t just reserved for research labs and the elite. From speakers that ‘play fire’ to the latest innovations in headphone technology, we’ve got the stuff you can buy in our on-site Future Store and use in your everyday life.

DRONES

Each Worlds Fair Nano event has a massive drones activation capable of flying up to 30 drones simultaneously. Drones are fun toys, but their largest applications are currently in the sectors of agriculture, business, and the military.

RIDEABLES

Each Worlds Fair Nano event features a massive 500-foot megatrack for testing electric skateboards, hoverboards, one-wheeled contraptions, e-bikes, and basically any other type of electric ‘rideable’ you can imaging! Helmets provided 🙂

BIOTECH

Imagine a city powered 100% by renewable energy sources, one with an autonomous mass-transit system so good that cars and roads could be completely eliminated, one with more outdoor parks and green space per capita, and, let’s not forget, one with free public wifi.

RENEWABLE

ENERGY

With solar now becoming more economical than fossil fuels, you’ll have no reason not to switch over. That’s not only better for you, but also our planet. Learn about new ways to integrate renewable energy into your life.

3D

PRINTING

Come draw with 3D Pens and take home your own hand-drawn hipster glasses! Also, learn about latest advancements in 3D printing technology including 3D printed homes, artificial organs, and even food.

ADULT

Meet your new favorite word: teledildonics. That’s right, wifi connected vibrating devices of all kinds – male and female adapted. This is a game changer for long distance relationships, and, with a little creativity, much more.

MOBILITY

Talk about ‘going places.’ With the explosion of electric cars on the road, recently formed companies working on the hyperloop, autonomous vehicle technology, and advancements in rocket tech, it seems like we’re staged for a win here.

FOOD

The future of food is lab grown meat, it is robotic chefs, 3D printed food, augmented reality restaurant experiences, and smart kitchen appliances. It is also probably vegan, locally grown, and centered around whole foods. Meet the companies making it happen.

AND MORE!

The future is many more things than 20 flippy boxes can show. Come to the fair and discover it for yourself!

Our Mission

Are the beliefs that we hold to be true going to take our species into the best version of the future? We don’t know the answer to that question, and Worlds Fair Nano is the embodiment of our search for an answer. By growing Worlds Fair Nano, we plan to organize the first six month Worlds Fair in the U.S. since 1984. We hope to connect many millions of people with the future along the way.
